This invention relates to a plow attachment and more particularly to adevice of this kind especially adapted for use in connection with asteel plow beam, and it is an object of the invention to provide anattachment which serves as an extra foot to provide for subsoiling orfor other purposes as may be desired.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of our im proved plowattachment whereby certain important advantages are attained and thedevice rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenientand advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth. I

The novel features of our invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that our invention may be the better understood, we will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein 1-- Figure 1 is a view in side elevation illustratinga plow attachment constructed in accordance with an embodiment of ourinvention in applied position;

Figure 2 is a view in perspective of our improved attachment unapplied.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, B denotes a steel plow beamof a conventional type with which our improved foot attachment isadapted to be employed.

As herein disclosed, the attachment A comprises a pair of substantiallyduplicate members in desired spaced relation and arranged side by side,each of said members having a straight portion 1 provided at its outerend with a cross head 2 and with its opposite end portion disposed on asuitable curvature, as at 1, said outer end portion of one of themembers being connected to the adjacent end of the second member by theintermediate plate 3 preferably integrally formed therewith andproviding a rounded lower end Wall.

The members are disposed at opposite sides of the beam B with theportions 1 thereof forwardly directed and with the heads 2 clamped tothe beam, said heads being pro- Serial No. 46,082.

vided with the openings 4: to provide such connection. The portion 1 ofeach of the members immediately adjacent to the curved portion 1 isprovided with a series of 1011- gitu-dinally spaced openings 5 toprovide means whereby said portion of each of the members may beadjustably connected to the beam B by the bolt 6 generally employed forattaching the brace irons 7 to the beam.

When applied, the curved portion 1 is downwardly disposed at a pointrearwardly of the main plow P and the lower or free end of theattachment is adapted to have attached thereto through the medium of aconventional heel-pin a subsoiler plow or other auxiliary plow as may bedesired.

The adjustment afforded by the openings 5 permits the requisite settingof the foot attachment.

Any shovel scooter or scrape plow may be engaged with our footattachment as may be desired. a

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a plowattachment constructed in accordance with our invention is particularlywell adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility withwhich it may be assembled and oper ated, and it will also be obviousthat our invention is susceptible of some change and modificationwithout departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for thisrea' son we do not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves to theprecise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown incarrying out our invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

'We claim The combination with a plow beam having one end provided with2. depending foot, handle braces, and a bolt for-attaching said bracesto the beam; of a supplemental foot pivoted on said bolt and having oneend portion substantially straight and its opposite end portion curvedsaid supplemental foot comprising two duplicate members arranged side byside, said duplicate members having their straight portions arranged atopposite sides of the beam, a plate interposed between and connectingthe outer extremities of the posed openings for selectively receivingthe bolt for adjustably connecting said extremi ties to the beam.

In testimony whereof We hereunto aifix our signatures.
